@ Aloy: I do miss doing them, but my life has changed to the point that it’s just not possible. And I absolutely love living in Portland – thanks for asking. :)

@ Sonnie: I don’t have a close-up photo of the plaque, but it is visible in this shot. Hope that helps!

Do you have a photo of the plaque at the base of the Thomas Starr King statue? It has been stolen and we need a picture of it to give to the police.

Thanks, Sonnie

Hello Richard, I was a late bloomer to your podcasts, finding them in early 2010 but have since listened to them all at least twice each, Just curious if you miss doing them as much as fans miss listening. And how do you compare your Oregon Soujourn to your true love San Fran? Whatever youre doing we wish you continued success.

Thanks Richard for another enlightening story. I’d never heard of Starr King before and it seems he influenced more for California and the U.S. in his time than Reagan ever did in ours (referring to the current issue you mentioned in Washington DC).
I’ve passed by that church on O’Farrell and Franklin many times in my car and wondered about it but never once stopped. Now I know I will.

Hi Miles,

What a pain! I’m not sure why that would be. I did have a bit of site-related trouble over the weekend, but it sounds like you’re experiencing an ongoing thing. Thanks for letting me know, and I will look into it.

Anybody else having similar issues?

Great episode, keep em coming….
Hopefully you wont mind if I ask an unrelated question.
Do you have any idea why your feed reloads in bloglines almost every day ? It isnt the end of the world but is kinda annoying.
